Look into the oil business.

 

[Yerman]

BA degree in business from USC - focus on entrepreneurship

Italy was focused on Angel and Venture Capital investing.

Austin job was in enterprise IT - was just learning IT so it's a bit new to me but I was picking it up real fast.

Old job was in pro audio/video sales, service, installation

Right on. You're in a good area for that.
Well, doesn't sound like you'd be interested in construction/oil/plant work. Lol
Unless you have comptroller experience. We're on the lookout for that

Get hooked in with recruiters.

Be positive and stay flexible.

Don't be afraid to apply for jobs you aren't "qualified" for.
